The food is fresh and very good most days, and the other reviews cover it mostly, but i wanted to point out to those who are sensitive to it or have dietary restrictions - WAY TOO MUCH SALT. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and still take my grandparents and kids here, so I obviously love it, but just thought folks needed to know that.

Wow! Can’t say enough good things about this place. I have eaten here before and remember being really impressed but after being reminded by Andrew Zimmermn about this little gem, I had to go back.

This place was featured on Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel which is what brought me to check this place out. The place itself isn’t anything fancy but boy do they know how to bake up some great eats! Check out the samsas and meat pies and the melt-in-your-mouth breads at this hidden gem! I’m ecstatic I live within walking distance away and look forward to returning soon!

I sometimes have a macaron madness descend on me and in a neighborhood surrounded by chinese bakeries this korean style bakery chain is a solid choice for my needs. They sell one of the biggest macarons I have seen. They come individually packaged in their own little bubble like the best kind of snow globe setting. This place is not Bouchon by any means but they do sell very light tasting and fresh pastries that never disappoint. The price is a bit higher but the quality makes up for it.

As much as I hate lamb meat, I always crave for their famous spicy cumin lamb noodles whenever I come to Biang. Maybe it’s the combination of all the awesome grease, salt and spiciness offsetting the unpleasant lamb flavor that I always despise. The hand-pulled noodles have the perfect chewy texture with enough “heat” to give you that tingly feeling that makes you want more. I always feel like I’m eating Rapunzel’s hair since the noodles stretched endlessly so…

First off, I’m not sure that the name change is appropriate. Edibles IMO was a horrible name for a restaurant, but it did indeed have a reputation among many Horshamites. I don’t think “Hurley’s” is a much better name, for the obvious pun reasons. The signage is also rather plain and disinteresting making this poorly tucked away location all-the-less distinctive.

This was one of the finest meals and restaurant experiences I have had in recent memory and I ate all over New Orleans this past couple weeks. This is a beautiful restaurant. The fireplace was lit and it was homey and comfortably elegant. The french farmhouse theme was wonderful. I thought the chairs were pretty uncomfortable but that was the only negative thing I can think of saying about this place.

Like the old okazu and saimin Mom and Pops of decades past, crack seed stores are also hard to find. I remember running to the store down the street to buy our favorite li-hing seeds and candies, but now there’s commercial grocery stores and specialty stores.

Finally was in the area and my brother took me to this spot that he’s been raving about. And oh my gosh he did not lie. I ordered the #7 roast beef and pastrami not knowing that it was THE sandwich to order. Mmm! We got here around 11 and thankfully missed the lunch rush. No wait, plenty of tables, hot sandwich, friendly peeps, and even a washroom to clean the deliciousness off my hands and face after my meal. Eastside is definitely a hidden gem. I can’t wait to try the other…
